Some perspective on that. 

Many of these reported "practice stats" coming from the twitter-sphere are actually referring to situational 7 on 7 drills.  If you really read all the reports - some of the reporters make distinctions between the various drills - but most do not. Especially if it suits their click bait or Jags-Snark agenda. 

In many of these 7 on 7 situational drills the offense is tasked with repeating a few plays over and over with limited deviation. 
This lends itself rather kindly to CBs that can anticipate and jump routes. 

I'm not saying there is no reason to have some concern over Bortles' practice struggles, but you really need to temper your disappointment with the understanding of situational practice drills. 

10 years ago there was no such thing as "practice stats."  If there were - the online fans of Brett Favre, Tony Romo and countless other QBs would have been losing their minds over all those pick sixes in "practice."

Yeah, I get that, perspective. But when your kicker, who is missing what should be makeable kicks for an NFL kicker and PAT's, turns right around and misses a 30 yarder in practice... I mean.  There is means for concern.  Jason had basically 3 shots to win it vs Indy (that one stung) last year and didn't make good on any.  Now we see consecutive misses in the Pats game and hear reports of him having a weak camp.. Reason to be Concerned.

And Blake. Well, he is just an interception machine, even if one could argue that he is the best QB (statistically) we've ever had.
